Fraser River Trail Park
About
Fraser River Trail Park is a town park managed by the Town of Fraser, Colorado, about 1.2 miles from the center of Fraser. It sits right alongside two of the area's trails, which makes it a natural starting point for time outdoors around town. Summer is the most comfortable season to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Fraser, at 8,560 feet, show July highs around 77°F with lows near 38°F, so cool mornings are the norm even at midsummer. Winter is far colder, with January highs around 31°F and lows near -1°F. The Fraser River Trail, popular with mountain bikers, and Marianne's Trail, a hike, both lie about 0.2 miles away. The Fraser River offers paddling about 0.6 miles off, and Idlewild Campground is about 2.6 miles away for anyone planning an overnight stay.
